We're in the midst of an application development renaissance. There is a plethora of new, exciting ideas and a new generation of developers who have embraced them. These ideas make application development faster, more likely to be successful, and have set a new, much faster pace of pplication innovation.
The Oracle world is incredibly rich and incredibly powerful, but often misunderstood by this new generation. They view Oracle's richness and power as complexity which is intimidating and a hindrance.
The New Generation Database Access is about three things:
The industry has latched onto the term "polyglot persistence" to describe this last point. (I personally hate this term. It sounds like a bad disease that won't go away but the idea behind it is a good one.)
All this is a bit abstract. In the next blog post I'll try to make it very concrete.

- Embracing (aka stealing) the best ideas from them and incorporating them into the Oracle world to make Oracle even better.
- Letting developers use the very best tools for each task while making it all work together smoothly and seamlessly.
